Cold Steel - 1849 Rifleman's Knife with Sheath

This imposing and robust spear point blade is rigid enough to hold its own against much larger edged weapons. It makes an ideal secondary weapon for a saber or cutlass. In addition with its 30 cm long blade and its stable parrying element, it can effectivley function as an independent weapon! So it quickly becomes clear why it was chosen by the US Army as a secondary weapon for their riflemen back 1849 ! Cold Steel® 1849 Rifleman's Knife is hand-forged from 1085 carbon steel and features a solid brass handguard. The beautiful handle scales, which completely encase the stable full tang are made from Malaysian sal wood. The knife includes a hand-sewn sheath made of high-quality leather with a polished brass locket, chape and an integrated belt loop. This knife will make a perfect addition to any reenactor's or collector's collection.
